You'll never go wrong choosing Independence! (NEETs rule, Wagies drool!)

Tick, tock, wagies! Having a hard time during lockdown in your cities? Can't pay yout $3,000 a month rent and $2,000 a month student loan debt? That's too bad. You should start living the /innawoods/ NEET way and making your own path away from the bugman city. I talk about ONE SIMPLE TRICK I remember whenever I make a life decision that always points you in the right direction.

The virgin quarantined bugman Vs. the chad cabin in the countryside Luke

if Luke made a video on government surveillance, he would have walked all the way to New York by the end of it

Have less friends? Done.

That was easy, what now?

There are always time in life when we will need the help of other, but we should strive to be able to do everything for ourselves. Example, you don't have to change your own oil, but you should know how to do it. Anytime you are dependent on others is a point of weakness, but that also doesn't mean you should have others in your life. Be strong, but be part of a community/family. I might not work on my own car, but when there is a problem, I learn about it and learn how to fix it, even if I have someone else do the work in the end. So many people are so quick to just pay someone else to do the work and don't use it as a learning experience. When I help people with their computers, I try to explain the problem to them. Most the time they don't want to hear it. They act like computers are to hard to learn, because they've been told so many times buy companies that computers are hard to use, that's why you need our software, we make it easy. When really they are just making you dependent on them.

The true sign of a steadfast man is not swatting flies off his bald head. That's a man with conviction; that's a man ready for battle

Always happy to see more quality Kaczynski content from Luke

No one is entirely independent, and I'd caution against maximizing independence at the cost of some other meaningful component of happiness. But I think the message of the video is mostly on point.

I find it really interesting how people who follow the linux philosophy end up with similar living situations and skills. It's great to not be dependent on everyone else to get basic life experiences. Good luck fellow independent.

13:50 - “The Lord humbled me” - this is how real MEN look at such calamities, and not the way the modern world dictates. I’ve always respected you, and now I respect you even more for this saying!

Not going to collage and moving to the middle of nowhere was my best life choice.

Literally nothing has changed when this whole Corona thing hit besides the local post office hanging up some plastic. And that's only since it's a federal building and has to by law.

Watching Luke stroll thru that beautiful and seemingly endless greenery makes you feel like some kind of post-human entity peering 200 years into the past.

Starting a game development studio to try to break out of the wage-cage. It's not easy, but I told myself that I was done doing side-projects that don't lead to income. That logic has really helped me keep focus and keep me away from the "ooh shiny" syndrome I have when it comes to software development.

[Smickyo]

Very interesting perspective.
I once knew a man on youtube who had a similar perspective...
